OK, so far so good. The disks are getting defined, but somehow SWAPGEN isn't 
getting to process them. Is it possible the code in PROFILE EXEC is bypassing 
the SWAPGEN step if the id is logged on?

Another possibility: If the vdisk is already defined and you rerun SWAPGEN, you 
need to add the FORCE parm to have SWAPGEN overwrite an existing vdisk. It 
assumes for safety reasons that if the vdisk at the specified vaddr already 
exists, it's not supposed to write the swap signature unless you tell it 
explicitly to do so. That would explain why it works if you log the id off -- 
the disks wouldn't exist at that point.
